Ashland News Notes.

The Ashland correspondent OF the
Dispatch sends the following:
On the evening of the 18th of this
month the Washington Literary So
ciety will resolve itself into a mock
senate, whose order of business will be
similar to that of the Senate of the
United States. This plan has beenvery
successfully worked in several Of the
universities and colleges of the North,
and proves most interesting, being the
means not only of acquainting the
young men with the proceedings OF
Congress, but causing them to become
particularly interested in the State they
represent as senator. Mr.. G. +.
Sheriff., late editor of the Concord
Times, as senator from North
Carolina, has offered the bill
asking for an appropriation Of the
surplus money of the United States
Treasury to the education of the lite
rate people of the South according to
population, and this will form the main
discussion. Several other bills voting
pensions to disabled soldiers of the
Mexican war and appropriating large
sums to the improvement OF the har-
bors and rivers of Wisconsin will be
taken up, and from the outlook the ex-
ercises will be interesting.

TIE COroner's Fees.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

To the EditOr Of me Dtspdtch:
Your local column of this morning
contained an article on the subject Of
"Coroner's Fees" with a reference to
the resolution introduced by myself
and passed by the Common Council on
Thursday night. The point OF that re-
solution, as you Justly interpret, was
not ut the amount of the COrOner's
fees, but at the injustice of their being
all paid by the city and yet / appre-
bend that your statement may be incor-
rect. or, at least, misleading, on the
subject of the amounts paid the Coro-
ner, for YOU state that sometimes they
are as low as $40 or 800 for month,
and that last year the total of his fees
was 81, 29J. The fact is, that the ave-
rage of the amounts paid him for the
last five years has been 81, 435.32, or an
average per month of Sl19.6l, as will
appear from the following figures OBJ
tanned from the Office of the City Audi
tCr-ylz.

An examination of the items COM

ard that court without representation
Oh the part of the city; Mr.. Witt is the
attorney for the Commonwealth cerli-
fies to the City Council for payment,
will show that its chief components are
inquests and pOst-mOrtem examina-
tions on the bodies Of unknown in
fants." What good purpose these ser
vices subserve | do not know | feel
dubious as to them. This l know: they
are very costly. Thus for 1885 there
were inquests and pOst-blOrtem exami-
nations of twenty-six unknown infants,
at cost of $50 each for Coroner's fees,
or $3.50 ; in 1856 there were twenty at a
like cost of $50 each, making $500.
Now, are not these unknown infants 4"
waits from every part of the Common
wealth, and if so, should she not own
them as much as the city? Do not the
revelations in the Cluverius case indl-
cate something in this particular
No, sir; l believe that anything like
Justice between the State and city in
the matter contained in my .resolu-
ton would save to the city at least

salary, S7l7.66 one half of Coroner's
fees, and 1866 charged on the city for

Respectfully, JACKSON Guy.
March -, 1887.
I'VE take it that Mr.. Guy means no
rejection upon Coroner Taylor, but
merely discusses the system. The laws
prescribe the Coroner's duties and fix
his fees. They require him to view the
bodies of dead infants and they pre-
scribe his pay therefor So in all other
cases.

INDICTMENT FOR LIBEL.
The Editor OF the e" Planet" Charged
with Islander.

The Hastings Court grand jury yes
terday brought in true bill OF indlct-
ment against John Mitchell, Jr.,
charging him with maliciously lbelling
John Il. Crenshaw. Mitchell isa colored
man, and is the editor of the Planet.
The indictment was found on the
strength Of an article recently published.
That article alleges that MIR. Crenshaw,
who is treasurer Of the Board OF Trus-
tees OF the Moore-Street Industrial
School, sis white man and Quaker I;
but Notwithstanding that fact" the
article SAYS, "we fear the spirit has
not moved him TO read that portion OF
Gods law which says Thou shalt not
lie, for he knows as well as he knows
anything that the prospectus that was
sent out asking for aid to pay for said
property stated that the property was
for the Moore-Street Baptist church and
school, and he knows, also, that money
was given in many parts of Virginia
and other States with such understand
ing, and he is also aware that the church
and school are coupled together
in the deeds and transfers, yet
in spite of all this knowledge
he will tell the editor Of possibly
the most widely-circulated weekly
journal among the colored peo-
pie in the South that the Quakers gave
the money. Bosb This only shows
that when personal prejudice and pos
sibly a little personal gain is in
volved that even Quaker can
be induced to throw his little mite OF
Misrepresentation and falsehood into
the scales of public sentiment to aid in
influencing a court to render an I'M
righteous decision, and thus take from
a feeble church of humble worshippers
of God property which justly belongs
to them"
Friend John Bacon Crenshaw has
spent his life in this community, and
has given thousands of dollars of his
fortune and years OF his life in the
cause of charity. The negroes-indeed
the poor and distressed of all peoples
and creeds-have always had in him a
true and steadfast friend. He is a
minister of the Society of Friends. and
man whose purity of life and devotion
to the good of his fellow-man has al
ways been conspicuous. Thousands OF
people who know him-and who in
Richmond and Henrico does not p
will read with surprise and indignation
these accusations,

- WAsYRs
Philadelphia Times.l
The coroner's inquest yesterday IN
the case of Annie Niblick, the thirteen
year old girl who was found hanging IN
a doorway on Wednesday evening, IN
her home at 291l e street, showed con,
clusively that the child had committed
suicide. Mrs. Kate Mcclellan and her
dauehtef Florence, of 1870 Elizabeth
street. who were in custody on suspi-
cion of having killed her, we're DIS
charged. John Niblick, the unfortu-
nate girls father, testified that before
he LETT home on Wednesday morning
he accused Annie of stealing two hand
kercbiefs from Mrs. Miller, a neighbor,
and ordered her to return them.
odd you threaten to beat her II she
did not give them back?" asked Coro-
ner Ashbridge.
81 may have done so, " answered the
father; "but | never yet gave her q
beating, and she must have known that
| would not begin then"
ibid your eldest boy give you any
explanation of Annie's death?"
| Eyes; he told me that Mrs. Nc
Clelland and Florrie put rope around
her neck, made her stand on chair,
and then pulled it away"
Mrs. Miller detailed the trouble in
regard to the handkerchiefs, and said
that on Tuesday evening last Annie was
at her house while see was washing and
remarked that she had also been wash
ing all day and was tired of living in
that house.
Mrs. Mcclellan proved by number
of witnesses that she was not at Mrs.
Niblick's house on the day of the hang
ing. Florence Mcclellan, little Annie's
playmate, was placed on the witness
stand. She was sure that Annie had
stolen the handkerchiefs from Mrs. Mil
ler's clothes-line, and wanted her to
steal some underwear, but she re-
fused. Annie said she was afraid
her father would whip her, and
she hid the handkerchiefs under a
settee, where they were afterwards
found. Annie had once told her that
she wanted to run away from home,
and wanted her to go with her. About
a week before her death Annie told her
that she had taken five cents worth OF
laudanum, and it had made her very
sick. The jury decided that death was
due to strangulatiOn, and the coroner
discharged the prisoners.
